Reviews of GO FITNESS NIAGARA (Gym)

Denise Bolduc

Hard to found, work is being done to fix building and lot, but once inside... A great place to work out. Well thought out space for all kinds of fitness training.

Unfortunately I found my experience very misleading...I signed up for the 6 Week Challenge and submitted half of the fee as required at my initial Group Consult. I read the contract which states very clearly refund OR credit (toward gym membership) after "successfully" completing the challenge. When I inquired about the refund, I was told I was confused and that's not what the Contract means. (I even forwarded highlighted images of the contract and where the language clearly said "refund OR credit" - Josh replied he would have his lawyer change it to be less confusing - either way, it is a void contract if he is unwilling to honor the terms.) I knew after 3 workouts this gym would not be for me for the long-term (not a very flexible schedule) so I wanted to ensure that I had some other incentive (the refund) to continue given the large expense of enrolling. I asked many questions and I was told again that I was "confused" about what "refund" means and that I had to forfeit $300 of the almost $700 fee in order to leave the program. Side note: I did receive a "Nutritional Plan" which was not individualized - it was a generic version and hard to follow - I was told the $300 I paid was for the nutritional plan, which he also told me held a value of $226, I was not provided a refund for the difference in cost. Upon further investigating on my own, given that Josh's contract was not being honored and considered void, I am entitled to a full refund even though I received a package because he is not honoring his side of the contract. Beyond the contract... The people I met in the 3 workouts were lovely, the gym is mediocre (poorly lit, air ventilation not that great, parking lot is full of pot holes). I feel very mislead, and given that it is in the Contract that you must write a review, the reviews posted here are also very misleading because those who wanted to "succeed" signed in their contract that they would post a review. Josh is a very good businessman... but unfortunately, I will not recommend his gym or fitness challenges to anyone going forward. Buyer beware.

Thank you for all the motivation ❤️

My first experience with GoFitness Niagara was during the 6-week weight loss challenge. I met my 20lb weight loss goal (losing 21lbs in the course of 6 weeks!) and I feel great! This program has taught me the benefits of eating healthy and remaining active. I enjoyed every single class. I was also fortunate enough to have multiple classes with each trainer. Every class I attended of Josh’s brought so much intensity, he’s a beast! He showed me how I can push and strive for bigger and better reps. Jessica, for someone so tiny, you are a powerhouse! Every class I went to had me feeling sweaty and so satisfied. Melody is so fun & outgoing! Her group workouts were a blast and I always left so happy. Matt’s dance fitness classes had me feeling so much more confident with myself. He has such a great personality and made everyone (including my 5 year old who attended dance fitness) feel so welcome. I was taught to push myself instead of moaning, complaining and giving up. This program was exactly the ‘kick’ and motivation I needed. I’m so happy to have had this experience and meet all the wonderful people I have along the way!

Very comfortable atmosphere to work out in. Trainer Josh let's you work at your own pace, encouraging you to keep going and makes you want to try harder.

Stacy Muzyka

A great place to build energy, confidence, and look great! As well, a great environment and culture to be a part of. Josh & Tanya are amazing people and are great at motivating you to reach your goals.

Amazing gym, many group classes to choose from all day every day. Body weight and resistance training, a fun and non-competitive atmosphere with people of all ages, sizes and fitness levels.

I did one class during the trial. The woman who led the class was very nice and enthusiastic. At first I was scared because I'm not in shape but the exercises are as easy or hard as you need it. There are modifications to make things easier or if you aren't able to do it. I had a lot of fun, if I had enough money I would go back again for more or for the six week challenge.

I just completed the 6 week challenge, and crushed it! This has been my very first experience in a gym of any kind, and I could not have picked a better place to start. The staff is so supportive and knowledgeable, and everyone makes it feel like a big family there! I am so proud of myself for taking a chance and losing 20+ lbs in 6 weeks and am so excited to return in the new year and keep at it! If you're on the fence, just go... first workout is free!

I absolutely love this gym. You never get bored with the workouts- every workout is so different and challenging. That's what I like about it. The trainers are amazing, the members are nice and all COVID 19 protocols are being followed diligently by the members and staff. If you are looking for a fun gym in the area, you won't be disappointed.

This is a very welcoming gym to goto. Knowledgeable instructors, inclusive atmosphere and a very positive vibe. When I started my skill level and knowledge was beyond basic. Thanks to the staff they have put me back on the track to achieving my goals. Any problem that arises the staff will help.. never worked out before... they got you, problems with meal planning/prep/recipes... they got you, modified workouts for injuries... they got you. Classes are always changing to keep things intersting and the class schedules are pretty accommodating. You'll continue to see my face at this gym. Try it out. First workout is always free... What u got to lose besides some unwanted weight?

Go Fitness Niagara changed my life! Yeah yeah I know what you’re thinking - that’s what everyone says and it sounds like a cliche. I promise you it’s not! This may get a bit long but stick me here and I’ll tell you why this is not just any other review……. I have battled with my weight, my health and my fitness most of my life. I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) at the age of 22 and was told by my Dr. to learn to love who I am because I would never be thin. Over the next decade my health got worse, I developed Hypothyroidism, Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NFLD), Arthritis in my spine, and a slew of digestive and skin issues stemming from an intolerance to dairy (though I didn’t know it at the time). I hired multiple personal trainers to try and get into shape with no luck - not due to their incompetence, just simply unaware of how to work with all my complex little pieces. I tried programs like Weight Watchers and Beachbody, again with little to no success. At one point I was even referred to a medical weight loss clinic and the Dr’s there advised me that a gastric bypass followed up later by skin removal surgery was the only way that I would be healthy and thin. Then I met Josh Green at Go Fitness Niagara and heard about his 6 week challenge. I was intrigued right off the bat but also very skeptical that this challenge would be no different from all the other times I had tried and failed. It took me a few months of watching others achieve some amazing results before I found the courage to try again and I am SO glad I did. Not only have I lost a total of 20lbs and 8in in 6 weeks (That’s crazy!!!!!!) BUT I also gained physical and mental strength, I feel more energized, I no longer have that mid-day crash and because my nutrition has improved so much I am no longer suffering from the digestive and physical ailments that were plaguing me before. I still have a way to go to get to where I want to be but for the first time in my life it actually feels possible!!! I am capable of things today that 6 weeks ago were impossible and everyday I get better and better! I honestly cannot say enough good things about Josh and the entire GFN team. I promise you that if you take this chance and invest in yourself you WILL NOT regret it. No one is going to hold you hand and force you to do it BUT you will have access to an AMAZING support system in your new ‘Gym Family’, an accountability coach as well as Josh and his rockstar team of trainers! If GFN can change me it can change anyone - trust me! I don’t know where I would have ended up if I hadn’t joined Go Fitness Niagara but now that I have, I can’t wait to see where I can go!!!!

Good place to workout

Well the challenge is over but the change is just beginning. It has been a eye opening experience. I need to thank Josh Green Jessica Ann Melody Cosby and Matt Dempsey for all there support and awesome workouts. I would have never though I would loss 45.7 lbs in a year never mind 6 weeks. I love the support you get from others at the gym it is like a big fitness family. There is NO intimidation like you get at a lot of other gyms. Everyone is really friendly.

Feeling down about your weight? So was I. Unfortunatly after my baby was born I couldnt lose the baby belly. GFN challenge kicked my butt into gear. With the help of Josh's team I was able to lose 22 pounds. Obviously it took work but it was worth it. Seriously consider GFN for your gym! Im so happy with my weight loss results. Thanks :)
